Servers sending callback breaks to the YFS_CM_SERVICE service may
send up to YFSCBMAX (1024) fids in a single RPC.  Anything over
AFSCBMAX (50) will cause the assert in afs_break_callbacks to trigger.

Remove the assert, as the count has already been checked against
the appropriate max values in afs_deliver_cb_callback and
afs_deliver_yfs_cb_callback.

Add a couple of tracepoints to track callback management:

 (1) afs_cb_miss - Logs when we were unable to apply a callback, either due
     to the inode being discarded or due to a competing thread applying a
     callback first.

 (2) afs_cb_break - Logs when we attempted to clear the noted callback
     promise, either due to the server explicitly breaking the callback,
     the callback promise lapsing or a local event obsoleting it.

Use RCU-based freeing for afs_cb_interest struct objects and use RCU on
vnode-&gt;cb_interest.  Use that change to allow afs_check_validity() to use
read_seqbegin_or_lock() instead of read_seqlock_excl().

This also requires the caller of afs_check_validity() to hold the RCU read
lock across the call.

__afs_break_callback() holds vnode-&gt;lock around its call of
afs_lock_may_be_available() - which also takes that lock.

Fix this by not taking the lock in __afs_break_callback().

Also, there's no point checking the granted_locks and pending_locks queues;
it's sufficient to check lock_state, so move that check out of
afs_lock_may_be_available() into __afs_break_callback() to replace the
queue checks.

<title>afs: Fix in-progess ops to ignore server-level callback invalidation</title>
<updated>2019-04-13T07:37:37+00:00</updated>
<author>
<name>David Howells</name>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.tavy.me/linux.git/commit/?id=eeba1e9cf31d064284dd1fa7bd6cfe01395bd03d'/>
<id>eeba1e9cf31d064284dd1fa7bd6cfe01395bd03d</id>
<content type='text'>
The in-kernel afs filesystem client counts the number of server-level
callback invalidation events (CB.InitCallBackState* RPC operations) that it
receives from the server.  This is stored in cb_s_break in various
structures, including afs_server and afs_vnode.

If an inode is examined by afs_validate(), say, the afs_server copy is
compared, along with other break counters, to those in afs_vnode, and if
one or more of the counters do not match, it is considered that the
server's callback promise is broken.  At points where this happens,
AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED is cleared to indicate that the status must be
refetched from the server.

afs_validate() issues an FS.FetchStatus operation to get updated metadata -
and based on the updated data_version may invalidate the pagecache too.

However, the break counters are also used to determine whether to note a
new callback in the vnode (which would set the AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED flag)
and whether to cache the permit data included in the YFSFetchStatus record
by the server.


The problem comes when the server sends us a CB.InitCallBackState op.  The
first such instance doesn't cause cb_s_break to be incremented, but rather
causes AFS_SERVER_FL_NEW to be cleared - but thereafter, say some hours
after last use and all the volumes have been automatically unmounted and
the server has forgotten about the client[*], this *will* likely cause an
increment.

 [*] There are other circumstances too, such as the server restarting or
     needing to make space in its callback table.

Note that the server won't send us a CB.InitCallBackState op until we talk
to it again.

So what happens is:

 (1) A mount for a new volume is attempted, a inode is created for the root
     vnode and vnode-&gt;cb_s_break and AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED aren't set
     immediately, as we don't have a nominated server to talk to yet - and
     we may iterate through a few to find one.

 (2) Before the operation happens, afs_fetch_status(), say, notes in the
     cursor (fc.cb_break) the break counter sum from the vnode, volume and
     server counters, but the server-&gt;cb_s_break is currently 0.

 (3) We send FS.FetchStatus to the server.  The server sends us back
     CB.InitCallBackState.  We increment server-&gt;cb_s_break.

 (4) Our FS.FetchStatus completes.  The reply includes a callback record.

 (5) xdr_decode_AFSCallBack()/xdr_decode_YFSCallBack() check to see whether
     the callback promise was broken by checking the break counter sum from
     step (2) against the current sum.

     This fails because of step (3), so we don't set the callback record
     and, importantly, don't set AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED on the vnode.

This does not preclude the syscall from progressing, and we don't loop here
rechecking the status, but rather assume it's good enough for one round
only and will need to be rechecked next time.

 (6) afs_validate() it triggered on the vnode, probably called from
     d_revalidate() checking the parent directory.

 (7) afs_validate() notes that AFS_VNODE_CB_PROMISED isn't set, so doesn't
     update vnode-&gt;cb_s_break and assumes the vnode to be invalid.

 (8) afs_validate() needs to calls afs_fetch_status().  Go back to step (2)
     and repeat, every time the vnode is validated.

This primarily affects volume root dir vnodes.  Everything subsequent to
those inherit an already incremented cb_s_break upon mounting.


The issue is that we assume that the callback record and the cached permit
information in a reply from the server can't be trusted after getting a
server break - but this is wrong since the server makes sure things are
done in the right order, holding up our ops if necessary[*].

 [*] There is an extremely unlikely scenario where a reply from before the
     CB.InitCallBackState could get its delivery deferred till after - at
     which point we think we have a promise when we don't.  This, however,
     requires unlucky mass packet loss to one call.

AFS_SERVER_FL_NEW tries to paper over the cracks for the initial mount from
a server we've never contacted before, but this should be unnecessary.
It's also further insulated from the problem on an initial mount by
querying the server first with FS.GetCapabilities, which triggers the
CB.InitCallBackState.


Fix this by

 (1) Remove AFS_SERVER_FL_NEW.

 (2) In afs_calc_vnode_cb_break(), don't include cb_s_break in the
     calculation.

 (3) In afs_cb_is_broken(), don't include cb_s_break in the check.

Remove unnecessary details of a broken callback, such as version, expiry
and type, from the afs_callback_break struct as they're not actually used
and make the list take more memory.

Increase the sizes of the volume ID to 64 bits and the vnode ID (inode
number equivalent) to 96 bits to allow the support of YFS.

This requires the iget comparator to check the vnode-&gt;fid rather than i_ino
and i_generation as i_ino is not sufficiently capacious.  It also requires
this data to be placed into the vnode cache key for fscache.

For the moment, just discard the top 32 bits of the vnode ID when returning
it though stat.
